8 weeks – Babies Update

Last Monday, the babies had their 8-week check up.  I know, 8 weeks already! Time seems to be flying faster than usual… probably because we are always on the go, never a quiet moment around the house these days…

The great news is that we continue to be blessed with very healthy babies. That is the most important thing and I thank God every night for protecting our kiddos and keeping them healthy.  Other than a small eye infection on Alejandro’s left eye, everything else has been great.

Here are their 8-week stats:

Emilio:

Weight: 7lb 14oz.

Height: 20.8in

Head Circumference: 37.3cm.

Alejandro:

Weight: 7lb 13oz.

Height: 20.8in

Head Circumference: 37.5cm.

As you can see, they are growing very similar to each other and let me tell you, telling them apart these days is getting harder and harder… I thought that as they grew up they would start developing certain differences… Nope, not these kids! They’ve decided to make things harder by looking more alike every day!! Thankfully, we still have Ale’s big toe painted blue to make sure when in doubt… but man! we need to come up with other alternatives or new “tells”…

Another fun fact is that although they have been growing nicely, even after 8 weeks they have not yet reached our other kids’ birth weight.  Nati and Santi were 8.3lbs and Nico was 9.1lbs!!  I know! we make BIG babies :)… You would never know judging by Nico’s petite figure… although Santi’s robust figure would give it up ;).

Emi and Ale have become more alert, they spend more time awake and have started to recognize faces and smile :). Their favorite place is the double boppy where they chill and nap. They also love to be held and have been enjoying some tummy time.

We are 8 weeks in and we could not be any happier as a family. It seems the joy and challenges the babies have brought into our lives have gotten us closer together as our team of 7. We are certainly a blessed and Happy Number 7.
